Diagnostic Sprint
2–3 weeks · one-time
GTM audit, stakeholder interviews, metrics baseline, 90-day prioritized roadmap. Written current-state report and recorded findings readout.
See deliverables →A 2-week diagnostic. A 90-day foundation build. Ongoing forecast governance and quarterly GTM review. One senior operator, fixed scope, written deliverables, an internal owner at your company before the engagement ends.
Each tier has a defined deliverable, a defined timeline, and a defined acceptance criterion. The Tier 1 fee credits against Tier 2 if you continue. Pricing shared on the first conversation.

See deliverables →Every Tier 2 engagement installs the same five-layer system. Each layer ships with written documentation, a named internal owner, and an acceptance criterion you can verify after the engagement ends.
Standards apply across all four tiers. They define what "delivered" means before any work begins.
MSA + SOW model. MSA signed once per client (5–7 pp). SOW per engagement (2–3 pp). Liability capped at fees paid in the prior 12 months — mutual. Client owns work product on payment.
Net 15. First invoice paid before kickoff. Monthly invoicing for retainers and Tier 2 builds — not milestone-based. Change orders priced and approved in writing before work begins. 30-day termination for convenience either side.
Tier 1: weekly written 1-page status, in-person final readout. Tier 2: weekly written 1-page status, milestone reviews at day 30 / 60 / 90. Tier 3: monthly forecast governance memo, quarterly GTM review. Tier 4: monthly 90-min session.
A deliverable is done when it has all four: written, has a named internal owner, that owner has reviewed and explicitly accepted it, and a measurable acceptance criterion that can be verified after the engagement ends.
of CIOs, CROs, and RevOps leaders admit their revenue data isn't AI-ready (Clari Labs, 2025).
of enterprise GenAI pilots produce no measurable P&L impact (MIT NANDA).
EBIT impact gap between AI deployments paired with workflow redesign and bolt-on deployments (McKinsey).
A&Y will not deploy AI, automation, or dashboards on a 60%-complete substrate. Phase 0 is always data hygiene.
Long-form pieces for the CEO who would rather read 6,000 honest words than sit through a 30-minute demo.
What "AI-ready" actually means at $3–20M ARR. Five layers, six gates, the sequence the 6% of high performers follow — and what looks like progress but isn't.

Read the guide →No deck. No pitch. If A&Y isn't the right fit — wrong stage, wrong sector, wrong shape — you'll get a referral to a specialist who is. That happens in roughly one in three calls.
